Paper Smooches Funness

Hello Friends!I wanted to share a card I made for the March Paper Smooches release! I have had so much fun watercoloring lately! I used to watercolor years ago, and really didn't want to get back into it. It seemed "old" to me, but I am so glad that I did! I have had SO much fun playing with my watercolors and using my distress inks for watercoloring and I just love the look!

I simply wet my piece of watercolor paper and dabbed on some distress ink with a watercolor brush. So very easy! After it dried, I splattered it with water, embossed the swirly stitches, heat embossed the sentiment, and added the butterfly with foam tape. The butterfly was cut out of some paper I had sponged with Distress inks. I added a little detail with my white gel pen.

Oh my goodness gracious! What a gloriously pretty card! You make is sound so easy, I have a sneaking suspicion that you were fabulous with watercoloring. Giggled that you thought it was old. I know exactly what you mean. I adore the colors you chose for this card, So bright and cheery. Adding the white gel is super smart. All around fabulous! :)

I really love the soft spring colors you chose for your water coloring, and your butterfly is GORGEOUS! Absolutely beautiful card, Kay! I'm so glad you took your water colors out to play again! Hugs, Barb
